How they compare
FuneralHQ centers the independent funeral-home case: first call, arrangements, documents, unlimited e-signatures, payments, preneed, built-in accounting with QuickBooks sync, and cemetery mapping, plot inventory, and deeds on one record with published per-location pricing. PlotBox markets a wider platform that spans cemetery mapping, plot inventory, and crematory workflows. Run the complete at-need case and your cemetery workflow through both before you decide.

Why FuneralHQ should be the baseline for an independent firm
FuneralHQ runs the work an independent funeral home completes every day on one record, keeps the economics clear, and gives operators direct access to the people building the product.
Published, predictable pricing
$250 per location, per month, with unlimited users, cases, and e-signatures on the Platform plan. The same model applies at every location.
A direct path for missing workflows
Bring the exact requirement to the demo. The team building FuneralHQ will separate what ships today from configuration, integration, or development and give you a concrete answer on fit and timing.
Start with FuneralHQ, then run the same workflows through both
Why FuneralHQ is the baseline
Independent and growing funeral homes get one system from the first call to the books: the daily case, documents, payments, preneed, built-in accounting with QuickBooks sync, and cemetery mapping, plot inventory, and deeds. Optional phone answering drafts the first call sheet. Packages are published: Platform, Growth, and Growth Managed.
When PlotBox deserves a close test
PlotBox publishes digital mapping, plot inventory, QR scanning, and crematory workflows in one funeral, cemetery, and crematory platform. A cemetery or combined operator that already runs on PlotBox, with staff trained on it, should test its mapping and property workflows closely.
The decision standard
Run first call through signed documents, payment, accounting, and export first. Then add your property and crematory scenarios and run them in both products. Both publish cemetery mapping and plot inventory, so the choice turns on the price model, how your firm works, and the demo.
